this works and looks fantastic on the steamdeck.

@zin: have you found the answer yet? I would like to use this mod without the Missing Packages Fix + Resource mod as well

@Lûte the Goblin
For the second, scroll down

What's a Psi Rifle?
What does the "Advent Priest Rifle fix" entail?

Missing Packages Fix + Resource is causing crashes for me. See information about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/sx7f02/crashing_when_shooting_or_reaction_shooting_after/

Will this mod still work if I disable that dependency? If not, would it be possible to update this mod not to require that mod?

it was intentional, the priest gun is extremely buggy and broken, the firing sequence isn't deliberate, that's my reasoning for changing it with this mod

I'm trying to get all ADVENT guns to use the priest firing animation with WSR (using Rapid Railguns mod) but this mod is the sole conflict - while it's active, it overrides everything with the default firing animation. Does anyone know of a workaround or alternative? I really like the flashlights.

Easily one of the best gfx mods out there

no modded weapons will not have lights unless the Author set them up to, Advent Flashlights adds lights to the Default Advent Rifle only

do thhe modded weapons have flashlights or are the flashlights broken for me? such as resistance firearms and halo wepapons

I am glad people still enjoy this mod

I am in the middle of a campaign, and I can say for my part that this mod works totally fine without the Missing Packages Fix + Ressource. I tried that beacause MPF+R might cause endless loading screens at the start of a mission.

Lots of nice flashlights and weapon effects :) Such a great mod for higher immersion, thank you Vortex!

The Advent Priest Rifle is set up like a melee weapon, if shoots improperly and has numerous glitches and behavioral problems, I merely made it behave identically to the regular Rifle

What is this about? "-Includes a fix for the brokeness of the Advent Priest Rifle"

This mod literally has no means to affect Lost

No it doesn’t affect the lost, what you are seeing is the fake spotlights all units have attached to them

It's a minor issue, but this seems to affect the Lost as well as ADVENT and the Aliens.

While they don't show a flashlight normally, I've seen one briefly flash over their target when they use their melee attack.

I’m glad you like it!

Just finished a campaign with about 280 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for putting this up, I was surprised just how much this did for immersion.

Makes my screenshots look fantastic

Awesome! Adds so much immersion!

@Vortex
oh sorry, i misunderstood what you said, i thought you said it took hours to find a fix

no, as I said, I spent hours trying, the game is a spaghetti mess

do you know how to fix it then?

It doesn’t occur in vanilla X2 and you’ll notice they don’t actually despawn but actually spaz out and go mental

It’s a WOTC bug, it’s not intended by Firaxis, I spent hours trying to fix it, I know why it happens.

it was actually through this mod that i found out that guns dropped by dead enemies actually despawn

@Aegis - It works with a surprising amount of enemy mods since they rarely create new weapons. If something is using an original Advent weapon then you get Vortex lighting

@Vortex ♀ Pixalation ok thanks

No conflicts it just won’t do anything to modded guns

im assuming this doesn't work on mod enemies

my actual question is would it cause conflicts with said modded enemies?

Gotta have It!

Lol, I’m shocked it wasn’t crashing everytime, the normal version straight up doesn’t work on WOTC

Stupid me had this and the non WOTC mod running at the same time, interestingly it worked a couple of times before it decided to crash on start.

Anyway, thanks for this mod. I'd rather play with crashes than play XCOM without it :D

awww thank you!

Yup, your mods are the first i go to when starting a new modlist

Aww thank you!

I can never play without this

I've gotten a couple of questions about the error spam from my mods, I am aware it does that, they appear to be harmless, there is no real reason for them to be there, it isn't a code related issue, it appears to be an indexing problem regarding duplicated files, however upon my investigation I don't fully understand where these duplications are

as for my developments going forward, I am still working on my Graphical Overhaul Project, I have paused temporarily due to my schooling, on break I'll resume working

just wanted to update you guys !

I am unsure, that mod definitely used to be needed but Firaxis patched alot and now I am unsure

Will it work without Missing Packages Fix + Resource?
I'm asking because that mod is making problems with LWotC, and, well, flashlights are important. :)

Thank you!!!

A truly amazing mod!

BRING IT ON!

I'm excited uwu

Sounds good, as long as your doing ok that's all that matters in the long run.

Hey Everyone! it's been awhile, I am making progress still but it's slow, real life has been insane

I also have been considering starting a Patreon but I wasn't sure if should, but in any case, just wanted to let you all know my overhaul is still being worked on, might make a trailer for it soon

No worries, no rush, it's a bonus feature anyway. Look forward to it whenever it comes.

My apologies I couldn’t push the update because I lack the files needed to submit an update on my travel PC this feature is delayed
For the time being

Aww you are welcome! I am glad you enjoy it, I will port the feature in about 2 days or less
